Your a little late jumping back into a thread 8 days and 1000's of posts later. This part has been regurgitated numerous times and does not need to be rehashed again.
It has been established that the driver was already driving into the pedestrians at high speed when someone hit the back of his car. The poster obviously agrees with this. And yes, it appears this needs to be "rehashed" for those who believe otherwise.
This is actually one fact that makes the idea that it was intentional suspect.
Exactly. As I just posted, he could have run over dozens of people by just driving up on the sidewalk to get around the other cars and proceeding away from the scene on Water Street.
It was less than one block of the street from the Main St crosswalk to where the car hit the others. Even at 11 seconds, his speed (given a 200 ft block) would be about 12 mph.
His speed could be significantly higher if he "launched" his car from the end of the block. This launching would explain the brake lights on while exhaust is clearly visible from the tailpipe of his car. Launching would cause a noise of the engine revving which is also why we see a photo of the pedestrians taking notice of Fields' car while it is not moving.
Could someone please post the video link and other relevant links in a single thread again, just for us folks who are trying to keep up with the conversation.
Witness Chris Mahony said he and a friend, who shot one of the videos, were walking down the street when he saw the gray car on the other side of the street.
"It just sat there, looking down the road," he said. "I thought that's a bit strange. There didn't seem to be any other cars stopping him from going. And then a couple moments we heard a car going incredibly fast down the road and then it plowed into the crowd."

We know that didn't happen. His speed was slower as he approached the congestion and before his car was attacked from behind with the flagpole. You can see it in the video.

He didn't do that.
It was definitely an odd way to intentionally hit people if he also wanted to escape rather than suicide which he clearly did.
The fact that he had to run into other cars, the fact that his escape route was to back up on a hill no less, etc.
Doesn't make a lot of sense. On the other hand, criminals frequently do stupid things. So, like I said, I am undecided and will wait for the trial.
No, it hasn't. No pedestrian had been hit at that point.
Stop emoting, and start thinking logically and rationally.
He is a known neo-Nazi and had been for a number of years. Why are you so bent on making excuses for him in an effort to white-wash (no pun intended) the reasons why one person is died and nineteen were maimed? He'd been arrested several times for beating his wheelchair bound mother. He's not the kind of person who deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Because the fake narrative of the accident you've all been spoon-fed and swallowed hook, line, and sinker has several serious flaws.
Everyone is presumed innocent in this country until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
